Wolverhampton Wanderers are under new management, with Nuno Espirito Santo taking over from Paul Lambert this summer after the Scot decided to move on from the club.
With Nuno in charge it appears that Wolves fans can expect to see plenty of Portuguese players heading through the door at Molineux.

One such player looks like being Roderick Miranda. The Rio Ave star is believed to be on the verge of joining the Championship side this month. It was most recently reported that the former Benfica defender, who worked with Nuno when the manager was in charge at Rio Ave, is to sign on a £2.5 million deal – according to the Express and Star.
None of this is news, Wolves fans are now eagerly anticipating the 26-year-old’s arrival. However, it is now being reported that he will not only be signed, but also handed the captaincy at Wolves by Nuno.

Zero Zero report that he is to be appointed the new captain at Wolves upon his arrival at the club this summer.
This will obviously come as a shock to the current incumbent and lifelong Wolves player Danny Batth, who will also have to potentially compete with the new signing for a starting place at the club.
